Centered around the mystical story of Ariadne, this concert of new and experimental chamber music brings together various elements to form an evening of diverse and varied sounds, ranging from a new take on Beethoven’s "Spring" Violin Sonata, a slice of baroque choral music, through to newly commissioned works from two of Melbourne’s women composers; Johanna Selleck’s Aia and May Lyon’s CreAture, paired with the grand old lady of Australian Music – Peggy Glanville-Hicks' Harp Sonata, which all explore and shape our knowledge and experience of famous myths and traditions.
